White Gift Program

The HRC congregation has an opportunity each December to participate in our White Gift program. The White Gift began in the late 50′s when Rev. Ver Steeg suggested that instead of Sunday School teachers and students exchanging gifts, the money be used to purchase gifts for the church. Originally each class purchased a separate gift for the church and placed a description of the gift in a box wrapped with white paper which was opened at a special time, hence the name “White Gift”. Since then the project has been expanded and now several organizations in the church and members at large can contribute white gift monies. Also we now usually select just one or two major projects we hope to purchase.
